It's time to get ready for Pack 227 Pinewood Derby! Here's all the information you need to know to participate in this fun event. It is a highlight of the Cub Scout year.

Mark your calendars: Pinewood Derby 2016 will be held in the afternoon on January 30, 2016.
All registered Cub Scouts receive one official derby car kit and entrance into the official Pinewood Derby race.

Parents and siblings can race, too! Extra kits are available for $5 each. All non-scouts also pay a $5 entry fee on race day. Parents and siblings can build cars using "modified" rules (see below).

The Derby will take place at St. Max in O'Reilly hall and is conducted by a professional track master.
